Here are some pics from a silver maple log I slabbed. When grading for a new tee at the golf course about 4 feet of the trunk was buried. The tree had a slow death which gave it some nice grain.
These slabs came from a red maple that split about 15' off the ground. This log was from just under the split. I did'nt mill the 2 halves of the split yet but judging from this log they should be nice also.
I have been milling by myself for the past few weeks so I didn't get many pictures. I finished about 8 silver maple logs, from 18 to 26" dia. Now its on to some big stuff.
32" white oak
40" poplar
I will get someone from the shop to take some pics and give me a hand with the poplar. The oak is at my house so my brother will be around to help. I should be able to get some action shots soon.
